Dr. Anniki Puura: Postdoctoral researcher, FinEst Centre
Background in human geography and regional planning informs her expertise in analysing spatial mobility across scales, from individual mobility behaviour to broader societal processes. Her work combines qualitative and quantitative approaches, including the use of mobile positioning data, to study mobility patterns, accessibility and mobility data governance. She also contributes to multi-stakeholder mobility and data governance initiatives, including projects related to the European Data Space for Smart Communities.
Adj. Prof Mauro Bellone: Adjunct Professor, FinEst Centre
Expert in autonomous driving, smart mobility, and intelligent transport systems. His research focuses on autonomous vehicle perception, mobile robotics, AI-driven transport optimisation, sensor fusion and software integration for connected and automated mobility systems. His work contributes to advancing automation, robotic and AI applications for smart cities and future urban mobility ecosystems.
Dr. Kalle Toiskallio: Head of Research Delivery, FinEst Centre
Specialises in urban mobility, parking systems, and the societal dimensions of cooperative, connected and automated mobility. His expertise includes parking strategies, urban mobility management, mobility behaviour and human-centred approaches to transport systems. With a background in qualitative traffic sociology, he bridges practical urban mobility management with social and cultural perspectives on mobility and sustainable urban transport solutions. Since 2018, he has served as Editor-in-Chief of the annual publication of the Finnish Traffic and Transportation Planning Association.
